About Me

Hi, I’m Lisa Haynes—an international travel writer and photographer for 10 years; a tea sommelier student, tea retreat curator and tea enthusiast with a deep passion for bringing people together through meaningful experiences. Over the years, I’ve traveled the world, exploring diverse tea cultures, from tranquil gardens in Asia to luxurious tea rooms in Europe. These journeys have given me a profound appreciation for the art of tea and the way it connects people across cultures and generations.

My retreats are born out of a desire to share these beautiful traditions with others. I believe in the power of tea to inspire mindfulness, create lasting memories, and foster genuine connections. Whether it’s a serene tea meditation, an expert-led masterclass, or simply sipping tea with like-minded individuals in stunning surroundings, my retreats are designed to offer relaxation, cultural exploration, and a touch of luxury.

As someone who values attention to detail and creating unforgettable moments, I’ve crafted each retreat to reflect the essence of tea—warmth, tradition, and elegance. I can’t wait to welcome you on this journey, where every sip tells a story and every moment brings a sense of peace and joy.

Join me, and let’s savor the art of tea together.
